My name is David, I'm a Marketing and Communications s̶̶t̶̶u̶̶d̶̶e̶̶n̶̶t̶ graduate from Austria, not Australia. My favorite countries I've visited are Canada and Colombia so far.

I love skiing, rock climbing, alpine climbing and scuba diving. I also tried kite surfing a long time ago. I wish I had the opportunity to surf more often ;)

As a mountaineer I'm a ski instructor too.

I prefer beer instead of wine. But I like wine too.

I don't just like coffee, I need coffee! But when I say coffee I mean real Austrian or Italian style coffee, not that pint of soup they serve at Starbucks. Yes, I'm picky.

Well, I'm a (not active) musician too... I love rock music!
But I also like deep house and techno.

I'm not a tourist... I'm a traveler
I ask a lot of questions and explore with an open mind.
For me it's very important to meet local people when I'm traveling.

Sometimes I ask stupid questions too. Usually I don't mean it and I'm not stereotyping so don't take it seriously :P
It's called Austrian style irony

I'm sure you will get on great with me.

PS: If you wanna take some German lessons let me know.... I know it is a badass language though

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet locals and other travellers.

But I'm also on CS to show other Couchsurfers the beautiful region I live in.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to all kinds of music which aren't very sellout.

E.g. Easy Rider, The Graduate etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buying a '78 Plymouth and traveling all over the United States and Canada with my best friend

...but that's only ONE thing... :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot of great stories of my journeys!

I usually travel with a little can of saffron which I bought at Tehran Airport for a very low price - I'll cook my world famous saffron risotto for you! Take that chance - it's free

I could give you some German lessons. Or just teach you bad Austrian words ;)
